21、Nowadays, we are very worried about such COVID-19 variants as Delta and Omicron. To relieve our anxieties, we should have a look at our own cell and the original COVID-19 virus.

First of all, our cell isn’t stupid. If any virus wants to enter our cell, it must figure out a way for its spike (触手) to hold tightly to the spike on the cell’s surface. You can imagine this connecting as a secret handshake.

At the early stage, the COVID-19 virus figured out a way to connect to a specific spike on the surface of human cell, called ACE2. But the connecting wasn’t perfect. However, it was good enough to trick the ACE2 to let it in.

Once the virus was inside the cell, it kept copying itself in order to find more cells to infect. During this time, the immune (免疫) system started making antibodies to fight back. Some of those antibodies acted like little caps that stick to the ends of the virus’s spike. Once “capped”, the infection couldn’t move forward, and the body won!

But every time the virus copies itself inside a cell, it has the chance of changing its spikes slightly. Most of the variations are actually harmful to the virus. So these variants disappear. However, once the virus hits upon a set of variations that actually help the virus to connect more tightly to the cell or more quickly, a person’s cell gets infected more easily.

Then what about the antibodies? Aren’t they coming to save us again? Well, yes... and no.

Scientists found that a person who was infected with the earlier version of the virus may not be protected as well against these new variants. He still can be infected, again. However, the antibodies’ spikes come in different shapes, too. So even though some antibodies become less useful, others will get the job done—or at least, hold back the infection long enough so the body can make new antibodies that fit perfectly on the changed spike.

【1】What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The virus.

B．The cell.

C．The spike.

D．The connection.

【2】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A．How a virus enters the human cell.

B．How a virus copies itself inside a cell.

C．Why the immune system can fight back.

D．Why virus variants have different infection rates.

【3】What can be learned from the text?

A．COVID-19 variants will become more and more infectious.

B．It is unlikely for COVID-19 patients to get infected again.

C．Old antibodies might be less effective against new variants.

D．It is hopeless to get rid of the COVID-19 in the near future.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Worries About the COVID-19 Variants

B．A Simple Guide to COVID-19 Variants

C．The Danger of the Deadly COVID-19 Virus

D．Ways to Protect Ourselves From COVID-19 Virus

23、We all know that little excitement from creating a popular post on Facebook. Watching the number of likes can be both attractive and addictive.

That same buzz (兴奋) can have its disadvantages, though. We all know the feeling of watching other people’s posts get unending positive feedback. We tell ourselves that the only reason why these people are getting attention is that they’re popular and good-looking. We sink into self-loathing (自我讨厌) and comparison. Therefore, after experimenting with hiding likes on Instagram in select countries, Facebook is exploring doing the same on its main platform.

That Facebook is considering this is encouraging. After years of appearing to ignore criticism about its effects on society, the company finally seems to be listening. However, there is a basic conflict between Facebook’s business model and its new-found altruism(利己主义). Relying on Facebook to look after its users’ mental health is a bit like asking McDonald’s to keep its customers’ blood pressure under control: At some point, a company’s need to make money is not in line with its supposed desire to do good.

The problem with likes is that they mark out how successful or happy others are, which in turn can promote a feeling of envy and insecurity. It’s a real phenomenon. However, Facebook would certainly want you to post things that get more likes. The company’s success relies upon you posting more and encouraging more “engagement” from other people so that the value of Facebook’s targeted ad business increases.

Facebook’s reliance on engagement is deep-rooted, and it destroys a supposed desire to prevent the platform from encouraging envy. Without doubt, hiding likes can have some benefit, but the way Facebook is built means that this will always be a small step at best.

【1】Why does Facebook try hiding likes on its main platform?

A．To catch more users’ eyes.

B．To get involved in an experiment.

C．To reduce users’ negative feelings.

D．To encourage users’ posting positive things.

【2】What can we infer from the comparison between Facebook and McDonald’s?

A．Facebook focuses more on the users’ interests.

B．Facebook cares less about users’ mental health.

C．Facebook makes a lot of money from the users.

D．Facebook does better than McDonald’s in service.

【3】What does more “engagement” mean to Facebook according to paragraph 4?

A．The growth of value.

B．More users’ needs.

C．The increases of desire.

D．More users’ security.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Facebook’s hiding likes?

A．Negative.

B．Positive.

C．Objective.

D．Indifferent

24、   Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change, either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.

There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.

【1】The early language had ______.

A.a lot of problems B.words and easy grammar

C.words but no grammar D.grammar but not many words

【2】In the next few hundred years we can expect language to ______.

A.stay exactly the same B.change a great deal

“There was a homeless man holding a sign saying ‘______. Need Food’,” she remembers. “So I ______ him my lunch and he was extremely ______ .

It’s too easy for people living on the margins (边缘) of society to feel like they are invisible (隐形的) and no one ______ them. Venkat knew what they needed was not ______ food.
